Crosswork Network Controller Essentials

Crosswork Network Controller Advantage[1]

Crosswork Network Controller Premier[2]

Ease of setup

KVM-based hypervisor support

Ability to deploy Crosswork Network Controller on KVM-based hypervisor. This feature enhances flexibility in choosing virtualization platforms, supporting broader deployment scenarios with general KVM deployments. 

Single VM deployment support for the Advantage tier

CNC Single VM Advantage introduces a streamlined solution for customers with smaller network environments. This feature consolidates CNC solution components into a single virtual machine (VM) form factor, delivering:

Geo Redundancy auto-arbitration

Provides auto-arbitration for cluster failover, enhancing system resilience by automating the transition between active and standby clusters during failures with an arbiter node.

Patching support

With this feature, Cisco now delivers OS security patches, along with other security and system management updates, reducing operational impact and providing the agility to efficiently secure and manage your network—eliminating the need for a full cluster rebuild or reliance on scripts and tools to apply security updates.

Runtime workload management

Enables dynamic service creation and scaling based on application needs, optimizing resource allocation by allowing on-demand service instantiation and scaling for efficient resource use.

Topology services

Topology services have transitioned from Neo4j to Postgres for better performance and stability.

Personalize Dashboards for better insights

With the improvements to Dashboards, you can create personalized dashboards by selecting specific entities such as devices, interfaces, or services and key metrics that matter most to your operations. Save these custom views for quick access, share them with your team, and organize dashboards into tabs for better insight management. For more information on using dashboards, see the Customize dashboards to monitor metrics chapter in the Crosswork Network Controller 7.1 Administration Guide.

Hardware reliability

Full support for XE devices

Full support for various Cisco XE devices, such as the C8300-2N2S-4T2X.

API experience

Bulk information retrieval and pagination support

Crosswork Hierarchical Controller and OSS systems can now retrieve service and topology data using paginated bulk retrieval.

Using RESTCONF APIs pagination support improves scalability by allowing access to the data in smaller chunks.

Mapping between service and underlay transport

Using APIs, HCO, or OSS systems integrating with Crosswork Network Controller can retrieve discovered underlay transport data for VPN services managed through Crosswork Network Controller. For example:

When given a service instance path, it returns the operating data that includes the discovered underlay transport for a service. 

When given a transport reference, such as SR-TE or RSVP-TE, it returns a list of service instances that use the given transport.

Enhanced topology discovery for SR-PCE with gRPC support

The collection of topology information for the SR-PCE has been enhanced to leverage gRPC, providing a more efficient and streamlined approach to discovering topology, SR-MPLS, and SRv6 policies. With the adoption of the gRPC connection type, the dependency on the topology property key has been removed. This property key is now disabled and will be ignored, even if configured.

The pce property key remains available and continues to enable the discovery of RSVP-TE tunnels and PCEP sessions, which are essential for all LSP provisioning. This property key is enabled by default to ensure seamless operation.

Ease of setup

Local Congestion Manager (LCM)

LCM configuration now supports the option to include or exclude link affinities (preconfigured on the routers) per domain.

Dynamic creation of transport resources for VPN services

Crosswork Network Controller can now dynamically determine the most efficient routes for VPN service requests. With this feature, the system can dynamically create and deploy TE policies during service creation, ensuring compliance with Service Level Agreements (SLA) and Service Level Specifications (SLS).

During VPN service deployment, the Crosswork Network Controller matches the service's SLA goal with pre-configured criteria. Once a match is identified, the system automatically creates and deploys new transport policies based on the associated TE template and attaches them to the VPN service.

Note: When the Cisco NSO Traffic Engineering Manager function pack is deployed, the Dry run feature for creating VPN services will display changes to the service-level configuration only. Changes to the underlay configuration are excluded from the dry run output. Similarly, when editing services using the Dry run feature, any underlay configs in the device configuration will not be displayed.

Ease of use

Workload Manager

Auto Rebalance: Automatically rebalances workloads to underutilized nodes when a node is added or replaced, improving overall resource utilization.

Database Management

Dynamic Placement: Dynamically places databases optimally across available nodes, ensuring even distribution of database workloads and efficient workload pinning based on the number of nodes.

Enhanced service and topology notifications

Using industry standard RC8639 for Yang-based notifications, devices monitored by Crosswork Network Controller now receives, displays, and if configured, forwards information about operational changes to devices in the network that impact L2 topologies, such as IGP, RSVP-TE tunnels and SR policies, as well as L2VPN and L2VPN services.

Software reliability

Circuit-Style Manager (CSM)

CSM now supports Shared Risk Link Groups (SRLG) disjointness.

A SRLG consists of multiple links that rely on a common resource, making them susceptible to the same potential failures. SRLG disjointness is a setting that specifies in the circuit-style SR-TE policy that Working and Protect paths cannot use links that are part of the same SRLG.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) data migration optimization

Data optimization of TLS manager’s migration flow during disaster-restore or data-restore with no change to previous migration flows.

API experience

Enhanced Service Health NBI

Added support for service data bulk API operations and enhanced notifications for Service Health changes.

Ease of use

Enhancements to the historical data graph for large L3VPN services

Additional historical data graph pop-up details available:

The addition of the Service Health status helps eliminate confusion between the Event Health (node status) and the Service Health status.

Enhancements to the Service Health UI

Support for SRv6 ODN for L2VPN services

Heuristic Package changes made to support SRv6 ODN for L2VPN services.

Software reliability

Single VM support

Number of supported Service Health monitoring devices (maximum):

Replaced Neo4j with Postgres

Switched from using Neo4j to Postgres for storing all assurance graph data. This planned change delivered equal or better performance in storing assurance graph data.

Ease of use

Seamless certificate renewal

The Crosswork Network Controller automatically pushes the updated certificate to Data Gateway.

For certificate renewal instructions, see the Automatic renewal of internal certificates section in the Crosswork Network Controller 7.1 Administration Guide.

Change to cache management

In this release, the cache management is enhanced to optimize system performance and usability. Previously, cache dumps were executed every minute, leading to excessive disk I/O operations regardless of changes. Now, cache dumps occur only when changes are detected, reducing unnecessary disk usage and improving system efficiency.

Merged SNMP rows for complete data visibility

Release 7.1 automatically merges split rows in SNMP responses, ensuring complete interface details and accurate topology data without requiring changes to the SNMP packet size. For details, see the Add devices through the UI section in the Crosswork Network Controller 7.1 Administration Guide.

Software reliability

New Trap Source IP field added for SNMP trap handling

In the 7.1 release, you can configure the SNMP trap source address for each device. In previous releases, SNMP traps were discarded if the source address did not match the device’s configured SNMP address. With this update, Data Gateway accepts traps from the specified source address, ensuring that valid traps are processed. For configuration instructions, see the Add devices through the UI section in the Crosswork Network Controller 7.1 Administration Guide.

Bidirectional streaming for superior performance

The bidirectional streaming feature optimizes thread consumption and enhances the efficiency of command and response handling within our system.

SNMPv3 supports HMAC-SHA-2 for stronger authentication

Crosswork Network Controller has strengthened the security infrastructure by including support for the HMAC-SHA-2 authentication protocols.

The HMAC-SHA-2 protocol is compatible with Cisco IOS-XR, IOS-XE, and NX-OS devices, offering robust security.

For details, see the Credential profile template guidelines section in the Crosswork Network Controller 7.1.0 Administration Guide.

Upgrade to the XDE library

The XDE library has been updated from version 3.4.x to the latest 3.5.x, and the YANG tools have been upgraded from 1.x to the 7.0.18 version. These updates address potential security vulnerabilities found in older versions, ensuring a safer and more robust environment for your operations.

Upgrade

Improved patching experience with rolling upgrade

The Crosswork Data Gateway patching process is now more efficient with the support for rolling upgrades. With this mechanism, patches are applied first to the spare Data Gateway, then to the active Data Gateway, minimizing disruption to data collection.

The Crosswork Network Controller UI and alarms now displays clear, real-time patching progress to help you monitor each step of the upgrade with ease. For details, see the Crosswork Data Gateway patches and patch management section in the Crosswork Network Controller 7.1.0 Installation Guide.

Enhanced security patch application

Security patches are now applied to Crosswork Data Gateway base VMs while ensuring minimal impact on data collection and system operations. This seamless approach replaces the earlier full-system upgrade method, offering a more controlled and efficient way to deploy critical fixes. For details, see the Crosswork Data Gateway patches and patch management section in the Crosswork Network Controller 7.1.0 Installation Guide.

Ease of setup

Configuration templates for devices

Ease of use

Enhanced configuration backup and restore

Support for custom metrics

Support for Top N metric visualization and reporting

Support for custom alarms

FQDN support for application Kafka streaming configurations

Ability to configure external Kafka servers via REST APIs using Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) to receive notifications. Previously limited to IP addresses, this enhancement adds flexibility by supporting FQDNs for Kafka streaming functionality.

Software reliability

Support for SR-TE path validation through Optimization Engine integration

Two new plays are available to automate the verification of SR-TE paths against the network's Label Switch Path (LSP). By using these plays together, you can ensure that the paths meet optimal performance and reliability standards.

API experience

New sensor paths for compatibility with new Cisco IOS XR devices

New sensor paths have been introduced for the Layer3-Routing, QoS, and Layer2-Traffic (Openconfig Interfaces) KPI categories to ensure compatibility with Cisco IOS XR devices running version 24.1.1 and above. These updated sensor paths offer improved performance and seamless integration with newer devices.

For devices running Cisco IOS XR version 7.9.21 and earlier, the Layer3-Routing-deprecated sensor paths will remain temporarily supported. Users must select the appropriate sensor paths based on the IOS XR version of their device.

Note: When upgrading from an older version of Crosswork Network Controller to 7.1, any KPI profiles containing these KPIs will be disabled during migration. To apply the new sensor paths, users must manually re-enable the KPI profiles after the upgrade.

API experience

Do It Yourself automation workflows

Enables customers to build, schedule, and track their own automation workflows, with capabilities to integrate to existing Operations Support Systems (OSS) and Business Support Systems (BSS) within their environment using adapters for the API interfaces. Such workflows can be designed to integrate inputs needed by the workflow, message to Operators for approvals or other inputs, validate results, and archive as desired.  Cisco® provides a set of baseline adapters including REST, SQL, NSO, SMTP, CLI (SSH), and the ability to auto-generate adapters for APIs conformant with OpenAPI specification or specific NSO Yang models.  For custom integrations, Cisco provides also a Software Development Kit (SDK) to allow customers to build additional adapters to fit their environment.  The provided management environments enable tracking of jobs and review of event history within each job.

Upgrade

Fleet upgrade

Enables router OS upgrades in bulk, which you can tailor to your needs.  In addition to the base workflow, which includes a base set of pre-checks and post-checks as well as the logic for driving the upgrades to the routers, this functionality provides a “MOP Builder” that lets user include actions to be executed within the upgrade job.  Software images can be accessed onboard or downloaded from Cisco.com and provided for use.  Operators can select the set of devices to be upgraded and the associated image for each scheduled job. The operations panels included provide for configuring policies, running conformance reports on the selected combination of devices and images, and details of success or failure per device.

Ease of use

Documentation

The Crosswork Network Controller Information Center is now available for 7.1.0. The information is categorized by functional area, making it easy to find and access.

Amazon EC2 support

Deployment of Crosswork Network Controller version 7.1.0 is supported only on KVM and vCenter platforms. Deployment on Amazon EC2 platform will be supported in the subsequent maintenance release after the 7.1.0 release.

SR-MPLS policy and topology discovery

In addition to HTTP, any SR-PCE provider in the system that is expected to discover topology, SR-MPLS, and SRv6 policies, must have gRPC configured as the connection type.

If gRPC with Transport Layer Security (TLS) is required, a certificate must also be generated and added with the Secure gRPC communication role.

See Requirements for adding SR-PCE providers in the Crosswork Network Controller 7.1.0 Administration Guide.

Removal of "Node State Snapshot" playbook

The playbook "Node State Snapshot" has been removed from Change Automation and is no longer supported.

Dashboard resizing options have been removed

To enhance clarity and improve data readability, dashboards, and dashlets now have a fixed size. Resizing options have been removed to prevent layout issues and maintain clarity of the displayed data.

Deprecation of LZ4 compression support

We are discontinuing support for the LZ4 library starting with the Crosswork Network Controller 7.1 release. As part of this change, the LZ4 library is removed from the Crosswork Network Controller UI and API.

We encourage users to transition to alternative supported compression algorithms such as Snappy, Gzip, and Zstd to ensure the continued security and reliability of their systems.

For additional support, contact the Cisco Customer Experience team.

Day-N Geo enablement required re-deployment of Crosswork Data Gateway VMs

Automatic certificate updates now eliminate the need to redeploy the Data Gateway for Crosswork Network Controller deployments.

The Device type field found in the Add New Device and Edit Device pages of Crosswork Network Controller will be deprecated in the 7.2 release.

Going forward, Crosswork Network Controller will depend on the Product family field, which is automatically discovered from the network or devices during device discovery. Additionally, the Device type data will no longer be accessible when importing or exporting devices using CSV.

SR-PM Metrics in Advantage Package

Delay and jitter metrics are available with Segment Routing Performance Monitoring (SR-PM). This feature is now included by default in the Crosswork Network Controller Advantage package. Previously, it required a separate installation of the Service Health component.

VPN Service Health dashlet

When using the VPN Service Health dashlet, you may experience an intermittent delay of approximately 1-2 minutes in the synchronization of numbers and totals under specific conditions:

This may result in temporary mismatches between the Basic, Advanced, and Total counts during transitions. Waiting a few minutes to allow the numbers to synchronize fully is recommended. This behavior is expected and does not indicate a system error.

Service Health pods reconciliation

In certain scenarios, such as Geo HA switchover, Service Health pods that show an Alarm ID describing the requested start of reconciliation may not receive a corresponding Alarm ID describing its completion.

Conflicts in VPN TE Management policy deletion

When using the VPN TE Management feature, simultaneously creating or deleting multiple VPN services on the same device can result in commit queue conflicts. In some cases, TE policies associated with deleted VPN services may remain in an "In-Progress" state and fail to be removed. To avoid this issue, apply changes one at a time.

Service Health pods reconciliation

In certain scenarios, such as Geo HA switchover, Service Health pods that show an Alarm ID describing the requested start of reconciliation may not receive a corresponding Alarm ID describing its completion.

Services root key value constraints

When provisioning a service, the service’s root key value cannot contain spaces (such as when typing a Name or ID field entry in the UI). This only applies to the root level keys (top level) and not the nested sub-level keys.

This also applies to custom service model root level key values.

L3VPN services with probes remain in progress with TE Manager

When provisioning an L3VPN service with probes enabled and the TE Manager package installed, the service may remain in an "In-Progress" state and not push configuration to devices. The NSO plan status shows "not-reached" and no zombie services are observed.

Workaround: Manually mark the L3 TE assessment as completed using the following command in ncs_cli:

request cw-te-manager actions set-l3-te-assessment-completed service <service-name> nodes [<node1> <node2> <node3>]

Single VM deployment

When you change the device's Admin State from UNMANAGED to DOWN, the system automatically sets the state to UP because the auto-attach process attaches the device to the embedded collectors and modifies its Admin State from DOWN to UP.

If changing the state to DOWN is necessary, you must manually change the state from the Edit Devices page as a next step.

For information on editing the device information, see the Edit Devices section in Crosswork Network Controller 7.1 Device Lifecycle Management.

Critical alarms are not cleared after an upgrade

When Crosswork Network Controller is upgraded to the 7.1 release, critical alarms remain uncleared, despite the data gateway VMs being UP and operational.

Device-side issue – device image installation and configuration upgrade fail for Catalyst 8300, 8500, 9300, 9500 during Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) Plug and Play (PnP)

During the ZTP PnP process, while the image download and installation complete successfully, the device fails during the image-install phase. This results in a 404 error with the message: PnP Service Error 1803: "Source file not found."

The configuration upgrade fails during the ZTP PnP process, even when the correct configuration file is provided. The failure results in the error message: err=1416 (Invalid source config file for config upgrade).
